Academic Achievements

Dr. Lin Zongqiong mainly focuses on the multi-scale self-assembly of organic/polymer semiconductors, opto-electronic properties and their applications in energy conversion.

1. The symmetry broken of supramolecular interactions as the driven multi-scale self-assembly is firstly proposed to design the multi-scale self-assembly of organic nano-crystals. Such strategy will potentially guide the synthesis of uniform organic crystal into various morphology;

2. The self-assembly organic nanocrystal is proposed as a metal-free photoelectrical cathode for water splitting;

3. With the respect of the intrinsic feature of organic nanostructure self-assembly, the precisely morphology prediction of micro-/nano- crystal based on thermodynamic mechanism is proposed. Such theory fills the blank of morphology prediction in organic micro-/nano crystal;

4. The approach of ultra-thin organic nanosheets is proposed for the organic memory devices, where the nano-effects on the device will be potentially applied for the multi-functionality behavior in the future;

5. The formation of poly-fluorene (PFO) gel and multi-porous in xerogel is investigated in species solvent, with a typical green emission. It strongly supported the promising hypothesis of exicimer mechanism of PFO. The gelation provides a promising method tuning the morphology of polymer film in device applications.
